Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1493

Chapter 1493: Helping Out ( 3 )

When everyone heard Yi Jiao’s words, they came over to check the grains. The moment they saw the white, plump rice, they were stunned.

Not to mention their current situation, even during the good harvest year, the rice available in the state-owned grain and supply store was not as good as this one.

They also checked the flour and coarse grains. After they were done, they turned to Wei Zhiying, and one of them asked, "Sister Wei, are you sure we are using these to prepare lunch for everyone?"

Since she never cooked before, she didn’t know that the grains and flour used by her family were any different from the ones used by the villagers.

After she washed her hands, she came over and asked, "Sister-in-law, is there any problem with the grain and flour?"

When they heard this, Yi Jiao said, "Eldest sister-in-law, I know your family used to have lots of money, but now that your situation is different from before, you can’t squander your money like this, ah!"

The moment she said this, everyone glanced at Wei Zhiying. They thought that as an educated person and someone who grew up in a wealthy family, she would be someone with lots of pride. While what Yi Jiao said was right, her words and tone were too blunt and might have offended others.

When they waited for some clashing, unexpectedly, Wei Zhiying only smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, I will keep your words in mind. I admit that I knew nothing about these things. In the future, I will have to ask you and my second sister-in-law to help me out."

Yi Jiao let out a long sigh when she heard this and said, "Eldest sister-in-law, usually we mix the white flour with coarse grain flour to make steamed buns. This is already considered very good in our village."

"As for white rice, we mostly only have it during the New Year. For daily consumption, we either have coarse grains, sweet potatoes, or porridge as staples."

"I know it will be hard for you and your family to get used to this, but you have to plan for your children’s future. Now that you can’t join the production team’s work, you have to be more careful when using your money," she added.

The group of women nodded in agreement after hearing her words. While her words were blunt, she meant well. They didn’t earn much every year and, at most, were only able to save ten to twenty yuan. If they couldn’t live frugally, it would be hard for their family to survive.

After hearing her words, Wei Zhiying said, "Third sister-in-law, I understand your meaning. But I only have these at home. If we didn’t use this flour and grain, what should we use to prepare lunch?"

When she finished her words, Wu Yahui said, "Eldest sister-in-law, I have some extra grain and flour at home. How about you use mine first and return it to me when you buy it later?"

Wei Zhiying thought for a moment and nodded. She smiled and said, "Then I have to trouble you, second sister-in-law."

"It’s no trouble at all," Wu Yahui replied with a smile.
